”These guys are great. Cost was great and the whole experience was excellent. Would recommend these guys to anyone. We took our 5 children for a surfing lesson, the children range from 7 to 13 years old and the team supported the kids and us superbly. They even put on an extra instructor just to teach the kids.”

”Thanks to everyone at Cornwall surf academy, we had an awesome 4 days, great instructors and it was good to have the hire in the afternoons. The group sizes were small and the beach was pretty quiet for the most part. Even when the conditions were difficult for beginners Alex and Dan were really helpful and encouraging! We are not yet pros but can’t wait to come back!
